THE Big sioux Reservation.

There are only two questions in the
general politics of Dakota. One is the
statehood question and the other is the
question of opening up the big Sioux
reservation. The latter is the larger
question in portions of Dakota, particu-
larly in the Black Hills and in the coun-
try to the east of the Black Hills on the
Missouri river.
Pierre did great deal Of work to in
fuence the Forty ninth congress to
open the reservation, and will send q
delegation of leading citizens to Wash
ington this winter to work in the same
behalf. The Black Hills country will
also be represented there on the same
business. These, and probably other
delegations, will cooperate to the full
est extent possible with Delegate Clifford
in the work Of getting the southern half
Of the great reservation open to rail
roads and to settlement.
The Chicago and Northwestern is
hating at Pierre, and the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul and Chamberlain
and Running Water awaiting the action
Of congress. There is no doubt that
these lines would be extended westward
promptly upon the settlement of the re-
servation question, opening up great
country to settlement and establishing
valuable communication with the rich
mineral regions and stock ranges of the
west.
The opening Of the reservation would
give wonderful impetus to the Black
Hills country aud to all that portion of
Dakota lying to the eastward, adding
immensely to tho population and bust
ness OF Southern Dakota. The Black
Hills country wanld early be supplied
with the railroad facilities required to
develop its great resources, while
Pierre and Chamberlain particularly
would havesudh .sbooms'' as they have
never known before.
The lines Of communication would
speedily extend westward from the
Missouri river in all directions, reach
ing into Montana, Idaho and Wash
ington territories in fact, opening a
great middle belt between the Union
Pacific and the Northern Pacific be-
tween the Pacific coast and the Mis-
souri, river.
Sioux City has reason to be some
thing more than an interested spectator.
Sioux City should cooperate to the ex-
tent OF its influence and power to secure
the end for which its friends in Dakota
are so earnestly striving. The opening
Of the reservation and the extension Of
the roads westward from the Missouri
river can only mean wonderful en-
largement Of the trade territory Of
Sioux City.
The Journal is glad to call the atten-
ton Of tho Sioux City Jobbers' and
Manufacturers association to this work,
and anvite it to join hands with the
good people OF Dakota in furthering il.

The following from an exchange is
appropriate and to the point: Young
man, when you jeer at lady passing
along the street. or haunt or startle
her with your glances, doesdt ever occur
to you that some other scoundrel might
insult yonr sister, your wife, or in COM
ing years, your daughter in the same
infamous manner? How would you
like that2 Would yeu think it smart or
manly, or an evidence of blood? II so,
you ought to be kicked from one end Of
the continent to the other, and horse
whipped back again.

RAHanua Reform.

TOLEDO, Ohio, December 8. = This
ning's Blade published letters from
eighty members of Congress, in reply to
certain queries about revenue reform.
Nearly all the answers admit the ne
cessity of revenue reduction, by from
$50 900, 600 to $500 600 600, but there is a
great diversity of opinion as to how it
is to be effected.
Democratic revenue reformers urge
reduction of the tariff On articles
that can be called necessities, and gen.
orally favor a retention of internal ev-
enue taxes, except on tobacco.
Republicans and Randall Democrats.
rs rule. insist upon the retention of
the tariff, except upon sugar, and ad-
vocate the abolition of nearly all inter
nal revenue taxation, the most COM
mon exception being whisky.
Some pronounced protectionists sd-
vocate the entire repeal Of the sugar
duty, and the payment of bounties to
sugar growers.
There is general expression among
Republicans and some western Demo
Gratis, in favor of enlarged expenditures
for coast defenses, new navy, river
and harbor improvements; postal tele-
graph also has many supporters.

An Important Decision.

WASHINGTON, December 3.-The Inter
State Commerce Commission, to-day,
rendered a decision in the case of W.
II. Council (colored) vs.. the Western l.
Atlantic Railway. Council was forced
to ride in what is known as "Jin
Crow" car, which is run for colored
people, although he had q first.class
ticket. The opinion, which is by Com
missioner Morrison. holds that colored
people may be assigned to separate cars
on equal terms, without advantage to
either race, and with increased comfort
to both. The Jim Crow" car fur
nished only seconded comforts in
travelling, and the road must furnish
colored people who buy first class
tickets, accommodations equally safe
and comfortable with Other frst-class
passengers.

The Cutting Case Again.

CITY OF MEXICO, via Galveston, De-
cember 3.-In government circles there
Is no apprehension of difficulties with
the United States over the review of
the Cutting case. The United States
made demand on the Mexican gov
ernnentseVeral weeks ago in friendly
manner, sugges ting in order to pre-
vent future ENHANCEMENT and ruptur-
ing of the good relations at present
existing between the two countries,
that Chihuahua and other states of this
republic, maintaining the doctrine of
extra territorial jurisdiction, should re-
peal the laws in conflict with the es
tablished principles of International
law. Indemnity in the Cutting
case was also suggested, with
out specific sum being
of personal considerations. Mexico
showed no disposition to avoid a
friendly discussion on the point of ill.,
ternational law involved. The matter.
it is said, will go through the usual
diplomatic councils, and satisfaction is
expressed in the; way Bayard handled
the case, so as to avoid placing Mexico
in an embarrassing position. The press
will very likely deal with the matter In
a different spirit from the government,
the real position of the case not being
understood by newspapers, and some
heated defamation is probable.
Friends of President Diaz who is a
candidate for reelection, say
that his opponents will endeavor
to show that he is over friendly
% Americans. Another election
DRY started by the opponents of
Diaz, is that he sanctions selling
Lower California to the United States.
MIR. Messick, government inspector of
the colonies. who just returned from
Lower California, said: mot a word
OF truth was IN the report; the Presi-
dent never dreamed of such thing
American residents of Lower Califor-
MIA would themselves be the strongest
opponents to annexation, as under
Mexican rule, they are enjoying ex-
from taxation, and rect i've
LIBERAL treatment il. ali business ven
lures. That these Americans would,
i'll fact. shoulder rifles and fight against
4 lnexation. Clericals are doing all
they can to stir up opposition to a
of Diaz in power. The
chief allegation against him being par
lality for the American people, and the |
of American ideas.
